Saturday 8 December - Mexican Pork and Red Sauce

Pork Loin was Lidls special offer this week, and I found a recipe for pork loin with 'red sauce' so we decided to go with a version of this.

The sauce was tomatoes, onions and garlic which we roasted in a hot oven until blackened, and then whizzed with chipotles, vinegar, oregano and some water. The pork was simply roasted.

We made some tortillas to serve with this - these are just masa harina and warm water then fried in a dry pan.

We also made some bits and pieces to serve with the meat and sauce - black beans, guacamole and some red onions pickled in lime juice.

We probably didn't need the meat, as the rest of the meal was pretty tasty without it!

For desert a chili chocolate fondant - this had some cayenne and also a chopped red chilli added to the mix. Served with some vanilla ice cream. Will be doing this one again - was perfect after a Mexican style main course.
